  • How to Glue Perverse Sheaves”
    NOTES ON BEILINSON'S \HOW TO GLUE PERVERSE SHEAVES" RYAN REICH Abstract. The titular, foundational work of Beilinson not only gives a tech- nique for gluing perverse sheaves but also implicitly contains constructions of the nearby and vanishing cycles functors of perverse sheaves. These con- structions are completely elementary and show that these functors preserve perversity and respect Verdier duality on perverse sheaves. The work also de- fines a new, \maximal extension" functor, which is left mysterious aside from its role in the gluing theorem. In these notes, we present the complete details of all of these constructions and theorems. In this paper we discuss Alexander Beilinson's \How to glue perverse sheaves" [1] with three goals. The first arose from a suggestion of Dennis Gaitsgory that the author study the construction of the unipotent nearby cycles functor R un which, as Beilinson observes in his concluding remarks, is implicit in the proof of his Key Lemma 2.1. Here, we make this construction explicit, since it is invaluable in many contexts not necessarily involving gluing. The second goal is to restructure the pre- sentation around this new perspective; in particular, we have chosen to eliminate the two-sided limit formalism in favor of the straightforward setup indicated briefly in [3, x4.2] for D-modules. We also emphasize this construction as a simple demon- stration that R un[−1] and Verdier duality D commute, and de-emphasize its role in the gluing theorem. Finally, we provide complete proofs; with the exception of the Key Lemma, [1] provides a complete program of proof which is not carried out in detail, making a technical understanding of its contents more difficult given the density of ideas.

  • Algebraic D-Modules and Representation Theory Of
    Contemporary Mathematics Volume 154, 1993 Algebraic -modules and Representation TheoryDof Semisimple Lie Groups Dragan Miliˇci´c Abstract. This expository paper represents an introduction to some aspects of the current research in representation theory of semisimple Lie groups. In particular, we discuss the theory of “localization” of modules over the envelop- ing algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra due to Alexander Beilinson and Joseph Bernstein [1], [2], and the work of Henryk Hecht, Wilfried Schmid, Joseph A. Wolf and the author on the localization of Harish-Chandra modules [7], [8], [13], [17], [18]. These results can be viewed as a vast generalization of the classical theorem of Armand Borel and Andr´e Weil on geometric realiza- tion of irreducible finite-dimensional representations of compact semisimple Lie groups [3]. 1. Introduction Let G0 be a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center. Fix a maximal compact subgroup K0 of G0. Let g be the complexified Lie algebra of G0 and k its subalgebra which is the complexified Lie algebra of K0. Denote by σ the corresponding Cartan involution, i.e., σ is the involution of g such that k is the set of its fixed points. Let K be the complexification of K0. The group K has a natural structure of a complex reductive algebraic group. Let π be an admissible representation of G0 of finite length. Then, the submod- ule V of all K0-finite vectors in this representation is a finitely generated module over the enveloping algebra (g) of g, and also a direct sum of finite-dimensional U irreducible representations of K0.

Preparations are well under way: the bulk of the scientific program has been defined, the proceedings are being finalized (the papers by plenary and invited speakers will be distributed to all the participants at the Congress), travel grants have been awarded to participants from the developing world, communications and posters are being selected as I write, and registration of participants is also taking place right now. Keep in mind that the deadline for early advance registration, with reduced registration fee, is April 27. Much of our effort over the last couple of years has been geared towards advertising the Congress, domestically and abroad, as we take the occasion as a historic opportunity to popularize mathematics in our society and, especially, amongst the Brazilian youth. I believe we are being very successful. The Biennium of Mathematics 2017-2018, formally proclaimed by the Brazilian national parliament, encompasses a wide range of outreach initiatives throughout the country, and raised the profile of mathematics in mainstream media to totally unprecedented levels.

    RIEMANN-HILBERT CORRESPONDENCE FOR ALEXANDER COMPLEXES LEI WU Abstract. We establish a Riemann-Hilbert correspondence for Alexander complexes (also known as Sabbah specialization complexes) by using relative holonomic D-modules in an equivariant way, which particularly gives a \global" approach to the correspondence for Deligne's nearby cycles. Using the corre- spondence and zero loci of Bernstein-Sato ideals, we obtain a formula for the relative support of the Alexander complexes. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Sheafification of sheaves of modules over commutative rings 8 3. Relative maximal and minimal extensions along F 17 4. Alexander complex of Sabbah 34 5. Comparison 35 References 40 1. Introduction Let f be a holomorphic function on a complex manifold X with D the divisor of f and let Ux be a small open neighborhood of x 2 D. Then we consider the fiber product diagram ∗ ∗ ∗ Uex = (Ux n D) ×C Ce Ce exp f ∗ Ux n D C ∗ ∗ ∗ arXiv:2104.06941v3 [math.AG] 1 Sep 2021 where exp: Ce ! C is the universal cover of the punctured complex plane C . ∗ The deck transformation induces a C[π1(C )]-module structure on the compactly i supported cohomology group Hc(Uex; C), which is called the i-th (local) Alexander module of f. Taking Ux sufficiently small, the Alexander modules contain the information of the cohomology groups of the Milnor fibers around x together with their monodromy action. As x varies along D, all the local Alexander modules ∗ give a constructible complex of sheaves of C[π1(C )]-modules, which recovers the Deligne nearby cycle of the constant sheaf along f (see [Bry86]).

  • 27 Oct 2008 Masaki Kashiwara and Algebraic Analysis
    Masaki Kashiwara and Algebraic Analysis Pierre Schapira Abstract This paper is based on a talk given in honor of Masaki Kashiwara’s 60th birthday, Kyoto, June 27, 2007. It is a brief overview of his main contributions in the domain of microlocal and algebraic analysis. It is a great honor to present here some aspects of the work of Masaki Kashiwara. Recall that Masaki’s work covers many fields of mathematics, algebraic and microlocal analysis of course, but also representation theory, Hodge the- ory, integrable systems, quantum groups and so on. Also recall that Masaki had many collaborators, among whom Daniel Barlet, Jean-Luc Brylinski, Et- surio Date, Ryoji Hotta, Michio Jimbo, Seok-Jin Kang, Takahiro Kawai, Tet- suji Miwa, Kiyosato Okamoto, Toshio Oshima, Mikio Sato, myself, Toshiyuki Tanisaki and Mich`ele Vergne. In each of the domain he approached, Masaki has given essential contri- butions and made important discoveries, such as, for example, the existence of crystal bases in quantum groups. But in this talk, I will restrict myself to describe some part of his work related to microlocal and algebraic analysis. The story begins long ago, in the early sixties, when Mikio Sato created a new branch of mathematics now called “Algebraic Analysis”. In 1959/60, arXiv:0810.4875v1 [math.HO] 27 Oct 2008 M. Sato published two papers on hyperfunction theory [24] and then devel- oped his vision of analysis and linear partial differential equations in a series of lectures at Tokyo University (see [1]). If M is a real analytic manifold and X is a complexification of M, hyperfunctions on M are cohomology classes supported by M of the sheaf X of holomorphic functions on X.

  • Holonomic Systems of Linear Differential Equations and Feynman Integrals
    Publ. RIMS, Kyoto Univ. 12 Suppl. (1977), 131-140. Holonomic Systems of Linear Differential Equations and Feynman Integrals by Masaki KASHIWARA* and Takahiro KAWAI** The purpose of this report is to show that the (generalized) Feynman integral should satisfy a holonomic system***' of linear differential equa- tions. We also discuss the analyticity of the defining functiont} of the Feynman amplitude in complex domain as a corollary of this result. Our main result, i.e. the existence of holonomic system, gives an affirma- tive answer to the conjecture of Regge [15], who first understood and emphasized the importance of the role of systems of differential equations in the investigation of Feynman integrals. In his report a homological approach to this problem is suggested. It is very illuminating but seems to be accompanied with many technical difficulties, as Professor Regge himself points out in the report. This important property of the Feynman integral has also been conjectured and proved in simple cases by Sato [16] independently and in a little different context See also Barucchi- Ponzano [1], Kawai-Stapp [11], [12] and references cited there. Note that Kawai-Stapp ([11], [12]) discusses the ^-matrix itself, not the indi- vidual Feynman integral, as Sato [16] originally proposed. We also give the diagramatic description of the characteristic variety of the system involved. It enjoys a nice physical interpretation as is shown by Kashi- Received August 28, 1976. * Mathematical Institute, Nagoya University and Department of Mathematics, Harvard University.
